I am wondering what this means when I cruise RCI as far as benefits. We will have that status after our Thanksgiving cruise next year and we are looking into booking a Hawaii repositioning cruise on RCI in May 2015.

You will be given the equivalent status on RCI which is Diamond once you make Elite. They do not combine credits but as I said you just transfer your status. You will need to get a Crown and Anchor number from RCI which can be done by calling them and giving them your CC number. Make sure your Crown and Anchor number is associated with any RCI cruises.

Also, be advised that it is expected towards the end of this month that Celebrity will be changing quite a few things on their Captains Club. It is expected they will go to a different counting system, perhaps to counting days on the cruises and it is expected there will be a new level. Time will only tell but I wanted you to be aware of that because what I said in the first paragraph could change.
